This Famous Divorce Case Now On
Trial.

This Famous Divorce Case Now On
Trial.
The district court was crowded all the
day with an eager inquisitiye crowd, to
hear the salaciOus evidence In the Bethel
divorce case, which was taken up the
fret thing this morning. After the jury,
before which the case Is being tried,
was empannelled, the attorneys for
both sides began preliminary
cross fire with view Of getting the
best position OF the case before the jury,
and then the mother-in.law Of the
plaintiff, Mrs. Sarah Newman, was put
upon the stand and her testimony was
taken, all the morning being taken up
for this. The jury is as follows: j. A.
Ferris, A. j. Avant, Jas. McSOrley,
Lorenzo Castro, W. II. Duessen, W. w.
Blair, John Fest, IgnacIo Chavez, G.
Dugosh, w. b. Massey. Z. Fox, Julius
Conrad. The counsel for the plaintiff,
Mrs. Pauline Beitel, are Messrs. Tarle-
ton and Keller, while the defendant is
represented by Teel & Haltom, M. G..
Anderson, J. 4. Ochse and ii. A. May
dole. Over one hundred witnesses
names were called and the case will oc-
cupy perhaps more than q week in the
trial. The evidence Is being taken In
shorthand by the court stenOgrapber.
The young wife, now about sixteen
years of age, sits on one side Of the table
nearest the jury. She is quite pretty
little woman, of decidedly Jewish cast
OF features, is small and petite, but little
over four feet tall. She was dressed In
black silk, with jet jewelry and wore q
rakish looking black straw hat OF fash
ionable shape, trimmed with a narrow
white stripe, with white pompOn plumes
on one side and front. Her husband,
Mr. +. J. Bethel, a lumber merchant re-
puted to be worth 100000 In cash and
real estate, sits by his attorneys on the
opposite side Of the table, eight feet dis
tant from his young wife. He is man
of perhaps thirty five or forty
years, nearly six feet In height, with
an open, honest counteDance and
merry twinkle of the eyes; all
the damaging evidence told against
him by his mother in law was
heard by him with quiet smile, and
did not disturb him. The old lady at
times grew very excited under the Sc
we're cross examination OF Mac Ander-
son, and her voice gradually rose to such
loud, harsh, angry pitch, as to be dis
tinctly heard upon the street and down
stairs through the courthouse. The
court room was frequently convulsed
with laughter and Sheriff Lewis was
compelled several times to loudly de-
mand order in the court room. At II
O'Clock the court took recess for dinner,
to reGOnvene at 5 p. m.
Two OF the principal witnesses In this
case, Miss Lottie Kellogg and Mr.. Frank
Fowler, are now absent from the city,
but Miss KS deposition has been taken.
